Taking measurements and recording data points is one thing, but analyzing and making sense of that data, and knowing what process adjustments to make based off the data is a different thing entirely. But my point is, at one point that operator was a schlub off the street. They weren’t selected for their experience or…

But you still need bearings, wheels, tires, and suspension that will hold up to speeds that high. I somewhat agree, it basically is a plane with no wings, but there’s more going on than that. Also, down on the ground, the air is so much more dense than it is up at cruising altitude for a plane, which makes high speed…

That’s almost as fast as I leave work on a Friday

Stick to cars! I only say this because I enjoy the material from this site and don’t want to overlords coming down on Jalopnik the same way they did on Deadspin.

I contract myself out and have worked with numerous major auto manufacturers, as well as suppliers. Every OEM plant is going to have a handful of quality engineers on site at all times to maintain tolerances. They’re not going to trust something so critical to a guy that dropped out in the 10th grade and who got fired…

Um, yeah, they are. I’m one of them.

The people you see adjusting tolerances and testing material hardness and verifying quality in automotive plants are Engineers and Programmers. Neither of them are members of the UAW. The Programmers often come from the company that supplied the tooling. When tooling is installed, the company sends its own employees…

Just fold the UAW. They used to represent the average working class citizen and served to raise safety standards and work conditions. Now that safety and work conditions are pretty normalized and standardized, all the UAW represents is entitlement for people thinking they deserve more money for uneducated, unskilled…

It kind of contradicts what I said earlier about “being too sweet” being a common complaint, but there really isn’t anything in the article to suggest that. It could just be that the bartender thinks it’s too sweet as well. Maybe everybody else that’s ordered it has liked it. Could the bartender have said something?…

How about an article on the two new water cooled Harleys released recently?

Not if the drink is correctly made as designed and the LW just didn’t know that particular cocktail was sweet. It may be that the recipe needs to be adjusted, not that it was made incorrectly. If you order a dish that is made correctly and it’s too spicy for your liking, you don’t get that comped. It’s not the staffs…

I see this being the same thing as ordering a meal that you’ve never had, and not liking it. Was this drink to sweet, sure, the bartender even acknowledged that “too sweet” was a common complaint. Was the drink wrong? No, they made it exactly how it’s supposed to be made, it’s not their fault you don’t like sweet…

the difference between your example and the LW’s issue is that you ordered a drink that you know you like and it was made incorrectly. The LW ordered a drink that I’m assuming was made properly, but didn’t end up liking. It’s not that the drink was made wrong, in that instance it should always be comped or replaced.…

why? was the drink made wrong? was the service inadequate? It’s not the bartenders fault if the menu calls for a price on an item that you don’t think is fair. Take it up with management and tip your server/bartender.

as previously stated, the letter writer might be a guy. Don’t go making things gender related issues because then everything can and will be skewed gender related.

Craftsman is already owned by Stanley tools

who did you hear that from? Was it an Indian engineer? because a “modified” frame from a substantially smaller bike, made to accommodate a longer wheel base, larger engine, cooling system, fairing, support more weight between luggage and rider/passenger, and a different neck rake would be a pretty heavily modified…

What do inverted front shocks do that makes them better than standard oriented front shocks? And what about the rear shocks being Fox makes them inherently better? In a lot  of applications, suspension technology has it’s practicality limits, it gets to become overkill. I also own a Harley, and I agree that they are…
